The Country Buggy was perhaps at its best in fully-open form, although its canvas roof and roll-down ‘doors’ gave some protection against the elements once the weather turned. Still, who worried about minor things like comfort and dryness when you had a vehicle as rugged and as useful as this?

  ‘F1’ plate on sale for £10m 8 Jul 2014 (News)
  The cherished registration, which was bought for £440,000 six years ago, has been listed by its owner Afzal Kahn, who has it registered on to his Bugatti Veyron sports car.  It’s alleged that Mr Kahn turned down an offer of £6 million in 2013, but now appears to be willing to sell, with a list price of £10,009,995. The ‘F1’ plate was previous registered to a Volvo S80 and owned by Essex County Council, but was sold by the council to raise money for training young drivers.  Mr Kahn paid the council £400,000 for the plate - then a record - but now appears to be ready to cash in on his investment.  Market experts Carreg.com are certain that £10m is achievable, but are undecided on how high the sky limit could be for a British registration mark.     “Number ‘1’ plates have always been considered as the ultimate cherished numbers and are often the most valuable registration plates found on the market,” said Russell Palmer of Carreg.com.  “Often these will command three or four times and sometimes greater the value of a corresponding single digit number plate bearing the same initials.
